London 2012 Olympics: How Team GB can win!

I’m not a big fan of the Olympics in general, but have had my interest aroused by talk of – shock horror – a British sporting success story, as well as characters such as Bolt and Phelps performing seemingly super-human acts with consumate ease; although I’ll still never quite grasp why making horses walk sideways, [...]

There’s sod all in me kitchen, what am I gonna do?

Thanks to a rather persistent leak, we find ourselves living in somewhat of a building site at present.  We await some damp specialists who will be treating the wall and floors you can see have been expertly stripped down – after which we undergo a process of putting right.
Given that we don’t have a shower [...]

Testing, testing.. I think…

It’s pretty amazing how things are designed to ‘talk to one another’ in this technological age; back when Facebook was new to me, I was pretty obsessed with the graffiti application, now it appears I can include past efforts into blog posts.  I wonder if this will work?

Edit: Clearly it didn’t work. Never mind [...]

Chewbacca, what a wookiee!

I accidentally clicked on the ‘view videos of me’ on Facebook thing; and found these two amusing clips from Children in Need last year which made me chuckle.  Basically I spent the day dressed as Chewbacca for, well, if you had the chance, you just would, wouldn’t you?

And the [...]

I got bored..

So I changed the layout of t’blog and made a new image header.. which I quite like, considering it was a ten minutes in Photoshop job; although the arbitrary change of theme is perhaps indicative of the quickness of the whim.  I’m not unhappy with the outcome, though.  For now.

America condemns Russian invasion of Georgia..

.. well there’s a shock!

Nottingham City Council’s tax on workers..

Nottingham City Council get on my nerves.  After a petition lodged with the Prime Minister’s website, they released a patronising and ridiculous statement attempting to justify their punitive revenue generating scheme levelled at the honest workers of Nottingham.  I sent them a long and ranty email about it, for all the good it will do… [...]

I saw a sparrow hawk today!

Today I awoke to a strange noise; concerned that we were being burgled I stagged upright from my slumbers, and looked out the spare bedroom window – which was kind of wear the noise was coming from – only to find what I believe to be a female Sparrow Hawk looking up at me from [...]

Is this the most sinister advert ever?

Now, I ain’t no prude… quite the opposite in general – but this advert popped on to telly the other night and flummoxed me completely.  It’s disturbing.  Disturbing and wrong.  Isn’t it?  This is actually the French version, but the one I saw was pretty much the same.

In other news I [...]

How to freak people out thanks to Facebook!

You can have quite a bit of fun with the ubiquitous nature of Facebook.  For example, if you are reading this on a computer where you have logged into the social networking site, you should be seeing your profile picture to the left over there.  Freaky, huh?
I had some fun on my Forest forum earlier, [...]
